Description: One can't help feeling a little like Lawrence of Arabia on the journey to the Al Maha Resort in the heart of Dubai's desert. Al Maha is located 45 minutes away from Dubai city of Gold. Though 4-wheel drive jeeps have long since replaced camels as the most common form of transport, the sense of adventure, privacy and isolation remains. Open since March 1999, the Al Maha was the first ecotourism resort built in the United Arab Emirates, home of the indigenous species such as the Arabian Oryx and Gazelles have been reintroduced and wander freely. The architectural style, materials, and textures all draw inspiration from the traditions of a Bedouin encampment. Above you, the soft curves of teh calico invoke the Bedouin tent. Handcrafted woods turn furnishings into art. And the legendary generosity of the desert is a way of life that is reflected everywhere, from the sheer space of your cool interior to the sweeping wooden veranda complete with its own private temperature-condoled pool. Just as a tent stands apart from all others, your suite stands separately from its neighbors. But there is one thing that they all have in common: the breathtaking views across the timeless desert to the mountains beyond. Here you can find business center, meeting facilities, pool, restaurant, room service, shopping, cable TV.
